Summary:
I'm still looking for some decent seperates or some amazing coaxes. These I listend to at AutoBacs and was amazed how they sounded louder and cleaner that their Infinity, ADS, and Eclipse coax line that was up on the board with the same amp delivering about 30W RMS. They sounded clear, and crisp, with no fautigue. I was close to deciding on the Alpine coax set (R series) but adding bass to the music they just started to distort trying to play the same music.

Strengths:
Tight and well defined, able to handle bass very well with clear highs.

Weaknesses:
None that I noticed.

Summary:
An absolutely outstanding compliment to the rest of the Focal line. I'm running the K2 Plus 6.5" components in the front sound stage, and these truly maintain that quality to the rear of the cabin. Sublime midrange and OUTSTANDING clarity throughtout the audible range. Cannot be drowned out even with 2200 watts running through two Alpine X series twelves. The interior stage and subs run Zapco amps with 1000 watts being delivered to the focals front and back.

Strengths:
Midbass/Midrange, clarity, true audiophilic reproduction of any source.

Weaknesses:
none
